Books by Alexander Etkind

It is the aim of this volume to investigate how academic practices of Memory Studies are being applied, adapted, and transformed in the countries of East-Central Europe and the former Soviet Union. It affords a new, startlingly different perspective for scholars of both Eastern European history and Memory Studies.

Haunted by its unburied past, late Soviet and post-Soviet culture has produced unique mourning and memorial practices - this book details these practices and provides new interpretations of the cultural artifacts produced in Russia from the 1930s through the 2010s.
